rH1s PAPER.

= We have sounded no trumpets In ad-
vance of the special edition with which
we present our readers this week, pre-
ferriny to let It come unheralded and
be judged by what 1t is. and not by
prophesies of what 1t was to be. 1t
lie here now and can speak for itself.
It may not be out of place to say for it,
however, that it is the largest "all
home" paper ever printed in Allen
county. We believe also that no other
paper of similar nature and equal size
has ever been issued in the State, on
which the editorial work was done by
one individual. AS for the rest the
paper endeavors to set forth fairly and
without exaggeration the attractions
of lola, of Allen county and Of Kansas,
Several hundred extra copies have
been printed, and we believe their die.
triburion will be of advantage to our
city and county. -

xArsAs CLIMATE.

If there 10 any man who can speak
with scientific accuracy about the
climate of Kansas, IL is Prof. Snow, Of
the State University. For 20 years he
has kept daily record of the weather
and what he says is therefore based on
unquestionable facts. The following
il part of an address which he recently
delivered before Horticultural Society
at Lawrence.
Eastern Kansas and western Missouri
have much the same climate, to which
shall chiefly c0nfine my remarks.
Western one-third of Kansas has an
entirely different climate, and Is be-
yOnd the limits of agricultural success,
except those limited areas that can be
irrigated. some of the climatic advan-
tages Of eastern Kansas may be stated
as follows: It excels in the great length
of it's growing season. From April 4th
to OctODer 10Th ia the average length
of time, in our twenty year record, in
which appears no sign of frost. This
gives ample time for the-.ripening of
all crops. In 1874 the grasshopper
year, corn planted as late rs July made
q good crop. The present year has
been exceptionally bad, but Miss
ouri, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan
have all shared with us IN the failure.
In our O-years record eleven sum-
mers have been cool, and nine hot.
There Is much compensation for the
hot summers, however, in the cool
nights. Generally out-door-labor can
be continued clear up to Christmas.
The average number Of days below
zero is only seven. The coolest day on
our record marked 26 below, and the
hottest 108 degrees above zero. Eastern
Kansas averages of rain 35.7 inches,
while the precipitation in western
Kansas is only from 10 to Is inches.
The settlement of the country and the
cultivation of the soil cannot increase
this rainfall to any great extent in one
generation. The record of rainfall
kept at Fort Leavenworth by the
government from 1886 to 1874 gives the
following: In the first half of this
period.viz. the nineteen years from 1886
to 1855 when Kansas was first settled,
the average rainfall was only 3O.4
inches. In the second half Of this
period Of thirty-eight years, which
transpired after the settlement of Kan
sas the rainfall was 35.7 inches; an
increase of 5.3 inches. This decided
increase was the result of the settle.
ment of the country and breaking up
Of the the soil. The past two years Of
dreuth have not, in any way changed
the climate. We shall likely have all
the rain we need for the next few
years:
Again, in Kansas only one-tenth Of
the rainfall occurs in the winter months
while the eastern States have more
than half their rain in that season. III
Kansas the cloudinees is only "A pei
cent, in New England it is 81 per cent
aud in Old England q per cent. This
is the reason that it is difficult to grow
Indian corn in New England, and
impossible to grow it in England.
Humidity in the air in Kansas is g

between very moist and very dry
climates, aud quite favorable to con.
sumptlves. These are some of the
advantages of the Kansas climate.

We have to record this week the

James Sleeper died on Friday NOR

Mr.. Sleeper was born May II, 1904. in
Otsego' county, New York. Living
there until his majority, he then trav-
elcd through the State working at his
trade-cabinet making-for several
years. About 1927 he settled at Mid
dleport, N. Y. where he lived until
1879 when he removed to this place
where he has since lived. Notwith.
standing his great age he retained all
faculties to the last and his vigor and
sprightliness were the subjects of gen.
eral comment. He died suddenly,
with not even an hours premonitOry
illness, probably Of heart disease. The
funeral services were held at the resi-
dence on Sunday morning, Rev N. B.
johnson officiating.

Cleveland Stands by the Poor
Man.

The Columbus Dispatch, the
leading Republican paper of CEN
trail Ohio gives it's strong indorse-
ment of President Cleveland's de-
cision in the famous land use of
Guilford Miller against the Pacific
Railroad Company. 1t is splen-
did evidence that the President
not only understands his duty to
the people but has the courage to
perform it. The Dispatch says:
President Cleveland's letter to
Secretary Lamar in the Guilford
Miller case bids fair to be a big
Presidential card in 1888. The
President has struck a very tender
and not in the least an unrespon-
sive chord in the popular heart
He has befriended a poor man in
his struggle to keep his humble
little home out of the clutches of a
powerful and grasping corpora
ton. 1t is enough. Mr.. Cleve-
land is now not merely MI. Gull
ford Miller's FRIEND and protector,
he is the friend and protector of
the poor man everywhere. He
has taken his stand by the poor
mans side and said in stern ac-
cents to the constituencies grabber
of the poor mans land, "Hands
ofp
This is undoubtedly the most
popular act of Mr.. Cleveland's adj
ministration. Without any ques-
ton it will give him immense
strength as a candidate in 1885,
The interview with MI. Powderly
in the New York Herald of Satar-
day, was exceedingly significant.
Mr.. Powderly is not only. a sensi-
bic, clear-headed and conservative
man, but he speaks for a million
and a half of Knights Of Labor
And what does Mr.. Powderly say
of the Presidents letter? He says
it is generous, bold and patriot
ic." When asked if the Knights
of Labor were in sympathy with
Mr.. Cleveland in this matter, he
replied: ENTIRELY SO. We shall
to a man support any Administra-
ton which enters earnestly upon
land reform, and stand by it until
the last gun is fired" "This is
only the beginning" continues Mr..
Powderly. "Mr. Cleveland is not
the man to stop there; or, if he
does, we shall vote for a candidate
who will go ahead with this great
work"
